COMBINED CARBON-ROLL HOLDER AND TEMPORARY BINDER FOR MANIFOLDINGTABLETS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 539,113, dated May 14,1895.

Application filed August l4, 1894:- Serial No. 520,264- I (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that LDAVID T. BAXTER, a subject of the Queen of GreatBritain, residing at Hamilton, Province of Ontario, Canada, haveinvented a new and useful Improvement in a Combined Carbon-Roll Holderand Temporary Binder for Manifolding Tablets, of which the following isa specification.

My invention relates to an attachment to the ordinary cover used formanifoldin g salescheck tablets, to serve the two-fold function oftemporarily binding the tablet at its stub end to the cover, and holdinga roll of carbon-paper from which portions may be drawn as required. I

The nature of my invention will be readily understood from the followingdescription,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, of whicha.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a cover provided with my attachmentsecuring, a sales-check tablet; Fig. 2, a partial longitudinal sectionof the same, taken on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1 and viewed in the directionof the arrow; Fig. 3, a sectional View of the base portion of theattachment; Fig. 4, a similar view of the hinged portion of the same;and Fig. 5, a partial vertical section of the attachment, taken on theline 5 5 of Fig. 3 and viewed in the direction of the arrow.

In the drawings, vA is the cover, which consists of two stiff backsjoined by a flexible web t.

B is the tablet, which ordinarily consists of a series of leaves withsuitable printing and ruling on them, bound together at their upper endsand severally folded upon themselves from their lower ends, with linesof perforations at the folds and near their upper ends to make themreadily detachable.

C is the base portion of. the attachment, made from a metal blanksuitably shaped and out, which is struck up to afford the ends 'r andintermediate curved back g.

D is the hinged top of the attachment, formed of a metal blank bent tothe form shown, and provided with end projections 19, which are bentdownward and pivotally connected to the endsoof the base portion byloose rivets, o. The curved rear portion, n, of this top co-operateswith the curved back q of the base portion to form a receptacle for theroll E of carbon paper, and the curved forward end, 4%, serves as abinder for both the tablet and the withdrawn portion 6 of the carbon- 55paper, by being forced down upon them through the positive action, onthe curved part m of the hinged top, of clips 7c, pivotally connected byrivets o to the outer faces of the ends 7' of the base portion. Theattachment is secured to the cover A by means of rivets 0 passed throughthe bottom 1 of the base portion.

My combined carbon-roll holder and temporary binder forms a verydesirableattachment tocovers for sales-check tablets. The advantage oftemporarily binding the tablet to the cover is obvious, and as one coverserves for an indefinite number of tablets, and as at least one freshleaf of carbon paper is required with each tablet, and often several,either because of'wear or accidental tearing off, the advantage of alarge supply of carbon paper conveniently available is also obvious.Where required, the roll may consist of two or more layers of carbonpaper.

My attachment has been devised with an especial view to simplicity ofconstruction and durability.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. For use with a manifolding tablet and cover therefor, the attachmentcomprising in combination a base portion 0 and hinged top D, formingtogether a receptacle for the carbon-roll, and clips is pivoted upon thebase portion for forcing and holding the forwardend of the hinged topdown upon the tablet, substantially as described.

2. For use with a manifolding tablet B and cover A'therefor, theattachment comprising in combination the base portion 0 having theupturned ends 'r and upturned curved back q, top D hinged to the baseportion and forming with it at its rear end a carbon-roll receptacle,and bent downward at its forward end to serve as a binder for thetablet, and clips is pivoted to the ends of the base portion for forcingthe binder down upon the tablet and holding it there, substantially asdescribed.
